₨ 600.00
This story begins in Tehran, at a stationery shop, it’s a place where its owner Mr. Fakhri, helps young people in their political awakening and fight for a transformation of their country but it is also the safe place of book-lovers who want to devour the words and broaden their intellectual minds.
Young Roya, an avid bookworm, 17, often comes to the stationery shop to find herself, her own words and meets Bahman Aslan (Aslan means lion. Bahram is mostly brave, passionate character just like his last name). As soon as they met, they understood that their life would never be the same.
The Stationery Shop follows teenager Roya as she discovers the power of love, loss and then, decades later, fate that her country struggling towards democracy enforces upon her. The book explores love’s power to transcend time and distance – and the ways fate can tear people apart and bring them back again.

“Look at love
How it tangles
With the one fallen in love
Look at spirit
How if fuses with earth
Giving it new life”
Five lyrical, heart-wrenching/ripping/breaking into pieces, soul shaking, perception changing, revolutionary, magical, eternal love stars!
The list of the things you need urgently after you finish this book are:
– Rolls of toilet papers, napkins, paper towels, anything helping you out to clean the nasty evidence of your ugly cries!
– Fresh air! So you can howl at the moon like a wolf for getting rid of bottled up emotions, anger, frustration.
– Punch bags and gloves! Some of the characters on this book will piss you off so much as you remember their name (She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!!!), use the punch bags instead of your lovely house walls or glasses!
– A good comedy movie or TV series to binge watch! Because you’re gotta remember, there are still funny things in life!
– Eat pasta, chocolate to rise up your blue mood!
– Stay away from Zanax or any other prescribed pills, hard liquors which could deepen your depression. Try smoothies, ice cream or softer drinks!
– Good make up products to hide your puffy red eyes!
I cried so much! I hurt so much! I cursed so much! This is a poignant, emotional, life changing and heavy story to absorb, digest properly about passion, ideals, dreams, sisterhood, traumas, betrayal, abortion, loss, devotion, trust, friendship, psychological issues !
I still feel lumps on my throat! Especially final pages are so hard to continue! But it’s totally worth it! Because this is an incredible journey about faith, love, and beautiful Rumi poems!
